Abstract

In the city of Buzios (RJ), Brazil, from the Una River, mangroves tend to develop the physiographic type of fringe or border, that is, mangroves growing on beaches without a upstream freshwater source. In Buzios, however, the three mangroves of this type benefit from aquifers derived from sea cliffs and dunes that provide fresh water not as rivers, but as outcrops. Beside them two riparian mangroves were also registered. All are mainly threatened by tourism, and require special protection instruments.
